Akrapovic has officially entered the Philippines

MANILA: No matter if its a car or a motorcycle, the job of modifying your vehicle is not finished until you equip it with an aftermarket exhaust system. Akrapovic, one of the best and largest aftermarket exhaust companies in the world, has now entered the Philippines and are eager to make your ride scream its lungs out. Already excited? Well, so are we as we see the Slovenien exhaust expert making its entry to the Philippines. The times ahead for automobile enthusiasts and custom shops are nothing but exciting, right?

Time for quick a history class. It was Igor Akrapovic who started the company Akrapovic in the 1990s. And today, Invanca Gorina, Slovenia is where the company takes care of its operations. The brand sprang as an aftermarket exhaust manufacturer for motorcycles, and soon after tasting huge success in the two-wheeler space, started to develop exhaust systems for cars as well. Following the accomplishments, Akrapovic took part in various race events in both motorcycle and car divisions. Moreover, it was the F1 stint with the BAR Honda team in the early 2000s that enabled the Slovenien exhaust company to reach new heights and gain truckloads of popularity.

Both Marko Magdic (Market Development Manager) and David Brecelj (Area Sales Manager, Automotive Segment) were present at the event where the company showcased several parts and materials that go into the making of a production-ready high-performance exhaust system. Quite a few exhaust systems were also up for viewing. With Akrapovic being one of the biggest buyers of the ultra-light, strong, and enduring Titanium, it is easy to say that the secret of the company's success lies in the metal that it uses.

Furthermore, the high-end and precise research and development process of Akrapovic in developing an exhaust system constrains the manufacturer to produce just eight exhaust systems every year. Akrapovic itself accepts the fact that it takes one year for the company to come up with an exhaust system for a specific vehicle. "We don't want to just be merely suppliers, but creators proud of the work we've done", said Marko. Ready to get your ride equipped with an Akrapovic high-performance exhaust system? We'd say that the time is ripe for the customisation to transpire.
